Skate World: Spain 

Ignacio Echeverria. The Spanish Skateboarder who sacrificed the rest of his skating days in the name of freedom and love. He died during the London Bridge Attacks. My love to his family and friends. You knew a hero. X

I went to Madrid about 5 years ago now. Borja and his homie that owned Welcome Skateshop were so nice to me. They took me to parks a few days and were super fun to have a post skate beer with. Support those dudes! Cheers from the U.S.!

So cool that vice respects the skate scene and uploads videos like this

I miss skateboarding so much. I wish I never stopped.

I'm not into skating but I liked this doc. Simply showing skaters skating, talking about their spots, city... sometimes it's best to let the people do the talking without a reporter type of guy. Too peaceful, kind of un-vice like? Maybe. But I like vice because of their versatility, and the wide range of subjects they show their subscribers. Cheers!

Spain is a nice country to be in

this makes me miss living in Spain...

El Skate no es hacer "saltitos" sobre una tabla, es un estilo de vida, una contracultura, te superas poco a poco, no hay que tener miedo, es libertad en estado puro. Vaya mundo con gente que piensa como tu...que habla sin saber, cuando tendría que callar.

What about the south? and BARCELONA!?

This inspired me to visit bilbao. City looks amazing 👌

Man Madrid has some really cool skating spots

So cool seeing skate culture reach this far around the world. Speakes volumes about the freedom and fun skating represents

i'm all about the skateboard. i love these videos becasue it really brings back memories of skateboarding with friends.

Another great video. I'm not a skater, but they're still fun to watch. Amazing what people can do on a skateboard.

para lo de las zapatillas yo os recomiendo Circa, hoy en dia sus zapatillas son las unicas que mantienen la resistencia de antaño.

I was just surprised that they didn't include Barcelona, that's all. It's sick to learn about the other parts too, no doubt about that.

It's "What's so strange about me?" by Eight Dayz, the band of German skateboarder Claus Grabke. Great song, I think it's really awesome, that vice took this song for the intro.

This is my life!!! First go to school then come home. Go and watch skate videos and then i go out and skate. But then I realized im not good and going in again and play skate 3 :D

...y Nano., Esteban., Mario el Chino...y tanta gente que nos juntábamos a patinar día a día...que tiempos....buen reportaje!!

Javier Sarmiento is up there in my fav skaters list no doubt. He's got amazing style and an endless array of tricks.

In 1980 skateboarding came from the Americans from Torrejone. In 1983 the first halfpipe was on base and the first ramp was in Royal Oaks. They were built by freestyle bikers not skateboarders. The miniboard was a ratfink. Trust me I know.

these series just makes me want to skate

Manuel Palacios yo tube la suerte de verle patinar en varias ocasiones y era control absoluto y mazo trankilidad a la hora de patinar

When i clicked the video and seen it was 24 minutes long..i was like pffft way too long, i ain't gonna watch this..but I just started watching, then before i knew it, the video was over..good video :P..

While everyone chasing for sponsorship, JAVIER don't, he just wants to skate errday. Much respect OG! if you haven't watched The Firm CAN'T STOP, you search for it now!

This makes me want to spend this next summer learning how to ride, and maybe a small trick or two. Nice summer days they would be too.

I'm backing Vice's skate documentarys.. we need more!

amazing city, would love to go there.. and skate!

I like the history behind these videos

Vice pls do more like this, it is so interesting

Que bonito debe de ser patinar en espana

I would have liked to hear some stories about Barcelona (especially Macba) but it's also nice to hear about these parts of Spain.

Wowww can't Believe i found this after 11 years...LK LA KANTERA ONE OF THE BEST SKATEPARKS IN SPAIN "BASQUE COUNTRY" I'VE GROW UP THERE AS A CHILD 😮😊.. WE HAD BOWLARAMA, VOLCOM EVENTS ND MUCH MORE ALSO THE BEST SKATERS AT THAT TIME SKATING ON OUR LAND CRAZYYYYY

I agree though, a lot of amazing tricks in skateboard history have gone down in those two places.

No me imaginaba que hubiera tanto nivel aqui en España. Muy buen post por parte de Vice💣

BARCELONA?

me encanta espana pero necesitamos un video de skating en Puerto Rico San Juan...Un poquito lugar se llama Puntas Las Marias. Hay es un buen skate park por alli...

The "EMB" is a sick as spot! Manny pad heaven!

Way to go, Awesome.

I skated a while ago, this videos awesome.

There's enough out there on Barcelona. Aren't you stoked to learn about the other cities that don't get much international coverage ? If you want to know more about Macba, just type it in to google. The fact that you know about it in the first place means you can look it up. This video gives great insight to rich skate history that I didn't even know existed. Be grateful to the dudes who worked hard on this. Not giving you shit dude, just trying to help you think differently.

thanks for making this, its been good for practising my Spanish!

Eight Dayz - What's so Strange About Me (2011 Remastered)

u rock dani and u too javi keep killing it!!

Que guapo! En el minuto 21:57 salen dos lugares de mi barrio en Madrid!! Principe Pio rules!!

Speaking of the Spanish skateboard scene without sparing a few minutes on Barcelona is like doing an US documentary without referring Love park...

the frick, I swear this video has been uploaded before, It's like vice upload content over and over to keep it "fresh" !?

No hago skate pero me ha parecido muy interesante como información para la cultura urbana. Genial.

i don't know why i was expecting a tom penny cameo.. it's nice when you just see him pop up every now and then

This is a great one, thank you Vice.

el skate consiste en superarse y sobretodo sentirse libre, lo que has denominado "saltitos" son trucos muy muy complejos de hacer, y más aún si es con velocidad

Yo patiné ahí, cuco me llamo, residente de Sanse, y han pasado muchos por ahí, y pocos como Manuel palacios,

i went to spain this summer and whattthe fuck man its really a place where skating has stayed true to itself no trendy bull shit just skating everyday and smoking treez of course

It's not as popular as it used to be, but worldwide there's still approximately 18.5 million skaters.

they are so lucky to have those parks at 18:00

this documentary is originally made by patrick o'dell for a show called skate europe, he goes to germany, denmark and even the UK. Im thinking maybe he sold it all to Vice, anyhow, good show.

nike sb o vans esas son las que yo uso, mis amigos me recomiendan circa y emerica pero yo uso mas vans y nike sb me duran meses y yo patino practicamente todo el dia.

This is such an amazing subculture, and Spain seems to be a beautiful place to skate. makes me wish that I was good at skating. and that i actually skated still haha

esee JAVIER SARMIENTO PURA SK8MAFIA.

las Fallen a mi me van bastante bien

Tienes razón!

muy wapo el vídeo pero las islas canarias tienen muy buenos spots y skaters legendarios y no las veo ..

yeeeah que buena esa alin y el spot secret de mijas!! olee

Blackriver ramps @ 6:58 so sick

Awesome video!

Thank you Vice for making such great content.

It's a great place. I've been there.

Utiliza ShoeGoo , es una especie de silicona muy moldeable que hace que tus zapas duren un mes mas.

Viva España y todo el país!

Muy interesantes todos los videos que hacéis! Felicidades

Carlos Ferrera que makina. Tienes razón

"Te habrá oido con el micrófono?" jajajajajajaja 12:08

javier sarmiento dude is toooo good.

They should have filmed in Barcelona too!

Nyjah Huston Mike mo, Riley hawk, ryan shecklar, Chaz Ortiz, Chris cole,P rod and many MANY more...

yeah I notice that too.

Y pensar que dar saltos en una tabla se ha hecho tan importante... Vaya mundo.

el EMB 4ever de este año ha sido la hostia!!

nice vid! thank you vice for all the skating stuff :)

Yo soy de mexico en jalisco de guadalajara y vive en un pueblo poco desarrollado que no cuento con ningun park skate pero eso no me detiene a dia a dia salir y darle un rato con mis compas usamos una plaza como park y pues creo que funsiona bien pero pues en españa se vee que sobran parks igual un saludo desde guadalajara Sk8

Me encantó el documental :D hagan uno en centro america! jeje

Nice!!!! It's been a pleasure to collaborate with this video.

You make a fair point mate. but to make a documentary about spanish skateboarding without even mention barca is pretty crazy!

buenas memorias en Barcelona y San ricarte

Y 20 tios corriendo detrás de un balon como borregos también se ha echo muy importante, a mi el skate nunca me ha llamado la atención practicarlo, pero siempre me ha gustado verlo

Algunas veces dicen unas pedazo de tonterías que vamos xd

OMG Some of the places are where I usually skate at!

good video, vice :)

great video

Y pensar que yo patino en estos sitios:)

muy buena la de plaza castilla

que buen video lo vi entero

What’s up with Málaga? The best place to skate and have a good experience.

yea i don't get it either. Barcelona is an iconic skate city. It's like a huge skatepark. It's one of the bset cities in the world to skateboard.

6:45 he said "insane"

so far in this series, I've especially enjoyed the first skaters style. Now besides hawk, what are the best vert skaters who do a lot of grab/rotations like stalefish and melons?

vans tnt five tienen una supersuela y son muy buenos o una etnies shecler pro model

en la tienda de madrid tambien hay fingerboards

Awesome

please do more
